Recent R7DHRE Preparedness Webinar
"The Mendon AMTRACK Crash: Lessons For the Rural Response System"When a passenger train derailed in rural northwest Missouri, a coordinated EMS and fire response was essential to taking care of the injured. Unique elements of the rural location both aided in and hampered response efforts. This presentation covered successes as well as lessons learned.
IV Fluid Disruption
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, hospitals across the U.S. are dealing with the impact of IV solution shortages due to the temporary shutdown of Baxter International's IV fluid manufacturing facility in North Carolina. The facility supplies around 60% of IV solutions used by hospitals in the U.S. every day, but Hurricane Helene has caused the plant to temporarily stop operations. The R7DHRE team has created a webpage for more information, resources, and situational updates regarding the current IV fluid disruption.
